Coaching
Coaching is about moving from a mind state where you might feel stuck or confused to a place where you feel in control, able to act and move forward.
My purpose is to lift you up and propel you towards being your best self - whether you’re a in a senior leadership role, just starting out (or starting a whole new career), or somewhere in the middle, just trying to make sense of what the future could hold inside or outside your current situation or organisation.
Although I coach people at all stages of their careers, I specialise in significant professional transitions, helping you make the most of the powerful opportunities offered by change: whether you have chosen it, or it has chosen you.
I specialise in periods of change because this is a time that can feel most intimidating and sometimes paralysing, but change also gives you a unique opportunity to grow. I offer a space to pause, take stock, reflect, shape and then act to make things happen.
The work we’ll do together will focus on raising awareness of what motivates you, the core skills you have and how they can be applied in new ways, as well as understanding what could be holding you back.
We’re all different – there is no one cap fits all solution - which is why I will really listen and will help you to find a solution that works for you.
Coaching for
you
Perhaps you’ve stepped into a leadership role for the first time, but now you’re questioning your ability to perform in that big job. Maybe you’re struggling with confidence and direction after returning to work following an absence. Or possibly you’re looking for support to navigate changing situations and difficult conversations while leading a team.
Coaching for your
people
Are your team not working together effectively? Maybe your business has been going through a period of change and you need to manage up as well as down. Coaching outside the usual organisation hierarchies could help you navigate through this period of transition, whatever that may be.
Coaching for your
business
Are you struggling to articulate a new strategy for your organisation or team? Does your business need help creating clarity around new business needs, implementing new processes, reducing friction or designing new restructures to maintain or increase productivity?
